Arrested Development: The Ultimate Gif History

The unthinkable has happened. A miracle really. After being off the air for over seven years, a new season of Arrested Development actually premieres this Saturday. That's 15 episodes to be exact and all of them available at once, thanks to Netflix. There goes the weekend.

Creator Mitch Hurwitz has been fairly tight-lipped about what exactly to expect with Season 4 except that his original plan to allow viewers to watch them in any order didn't pan out. So. Be sure to watch them in sequence and, if you're in need of further priming, take a look at what we know about Arrested Development's return so far. And since each new installment of the long awaited, and oft-rumored, fourth season of the groundbreaking comedy focuses on one particular member of the Bluth family and so I thought copying that structure would be the best way to approach this visual recap, which features collected gifs showcasing some of the characters' more memorable moments over the course of the series' original run.

It doesn't include all the recurring gags cause, well, there are simply too many to recount, but it should offer a nice summation of the Bluth (and Funke) family history by character, in Gif form.
